This study demonstrates that mice with ectopic expression of the human GLI-1 gene in their skin developed tumors resembling human basal cell carcinoma, suggesting that GLI-1 is central to tumor development without additional p53 or Ha ras mutations.

In this study, researchers established that increased expression of the human GLI-1 gene in mouse skin leads to the development of tumors that closely resemble human basal cell carcinomas, without requiring additional mutations in the p53 or Ha ras genes.

Targeted therapy for skin cancer is complex due to the role of the hedgehog pathway in both cancer and hair growth.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of the Hedgehog signaling effector Gli2 in mice led to odontogenic keratocysts development, implicating GLI transcription factors in human keratocyst pathogenesis.

This study found that TGF-β1 expression in follicular tumors correlates with differentiation degree and suggests its potential role alongside p63 in differentiating between sebaceous and follicular tumors.
